I have used the Mopar iron rockers with good results,but if you are wanting aluminum rockers,I've used Crane and have been very pleased with them ,but in my opinion,all of the aluminum rockers are pretty much the same.I went with Crane because of the price.

Terry, how big of a cam are you going to use and what type? (hydraulic, solid or roller) How much spring pressure? I have a set of used Mopar iron type if you are interested. I went to Norris stainless steel rollers and think that they are the best made, but had to wait 1 1/2 years to get them and they were expensive.(but what good equipment isn't? If you are interested in my used set with extras, just E-Mail me. AJ

AJ, I got mine Norris rockers in two weeks and I'm living here in Finland!(50 miles south from Artic Circle)

Terry, my friend uses Crane Golden rockers with his 0,670" lift roller cam and they
works just fine.

Have been told by very notible small block chrysler engine builder Herb McCandless that the Norris Stainless is the only way to go. He said that he only got 20 passes on the Crane units before he saw breakage problems. Of course this was with pretty radical cams also. Herb did alot of testing and development directly with Chrysler on the W2 heads in the 70's so I trust his opinions.
